One person was killed and two others wounded in separate shootings on Chicago's South Side overnight.

Two people were shot at about 11:40 p.m. in the 8100 block of South Winchester Avenue in the Gresham neighborhood, police said.

A man, described as in his 20s, was found unresponsive on the scene with a gunshot wound to his head. He was identified as Kevin Banks of the 8200 block of South Winchester Avenue, according to a spokeswoman for the Cook County medical examiner's office.

An 18-year-old man who was shot in the leg was taken to Little Company of Mary Hospital and Health Care Centers in Evergreen Park, police said. He was listed in stable condition.

Earlier in the Marquette Park neighborhood, a 17-year-old boy was shot in the chest.

The teen was discovered shot shortly before 10 p.m. to the 6400 block of South Artesian Avenue, police said. Preliminary reports said the youth was standing outside when a suspect approached and shot him in the chest. The suspect fled eastbound on 64th Street.

The teen was taken in stable condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

No one is in custody for either shooting. Calumet Area and Wentworth Area detectives are investigating.
